What is the advantage to getting the ION PICS 2 SD versus the ION OMni Scan Stand Alone?

I was able to send a SD to all of the family members so that they could copy the pictures that they wanted.

I'm sorry I am unable to answer your question, since I am not familiar with the ION OMni Scan Stand Alone.

The Omni Scan only scans film and slides, not prints. If you are going to try to scan 4x6 prints, the Omni Scan Stand Alone will not work for you.

I don't know anything about the ION Omni Scan Stand Alone. I only bought the ION Pics 2 SD.

32pro micro sdhc from samsung is just as fast as the built-in card. I got the 64pro and can't tell the difference between the built-in or the 64pro.

I agree with the answer below. I have used a SD 2 gb, but if you are going somewhere where you might see great things all day, visiting a national park or a foreign city, then 4-8. I have some items which I photograph almost daily, and then empty the card. In that case, a small one works well enough.

Having had the opportunity to use both the Doxie One and the Doxie Go, there is a small but perceivable difference on both pictures and text but not enough for me to scan text at the higher resolution. Also, 600dpi files are 4x larger than 300dpi files, not 2x larger as many think.

i didn't have to install anything to use its basic features. I insert an SD card, then scan documents. Then I take the SD card out and insert that in to my computer and the scanned items are in .jpg format on the SDcard. pretty simple.

From what I have seen the only difference is with how much memory is on the NABI XD. However more memory can be added to them with a memory card.

I'll be able to do a direct comparison soon, as I've got a PX312 coming in, after purchasing the VN-302PC. The specs and features are very nearly clones of each other, but I've found that the Olympus lacks some rather basic abilities that the Sony covers, such as a means of moving files between the 5 folders for organization. Also, the files recorded on the internal memory can't be moved over to the external memory card through the recorder; though it's easy enough to do when connected to a PC. It shows up as two separate drives on the PC, and the files remain uniquely named whether recorded on internal or external memory, so it's a simple matter to just copy them over. (If they reused file numbers on int vs ext memory then there would be an added complication of renaming before copying). I'd rather that the file names included the timestamp, like some other recorders do, but neither of these do that. Record quality of the Olympus is fine, so if the Sony does just as well, the Sony has more comprehensive features. The file erase process is better on the Sony as well, because it plays back the recording you're about to erase for confirmation before recording. With the Olympus you have to stop the playback on the target file first and be careful that it didn't advance to the next file, and watch the screen for the sequence of prompts to follow through with the delete process. I think the Sony method for deleting is better because it can be initiated while the target file is playing, and the playback of the recording as confirmation has less potential for inadvertently deleting the wrong recording. I believe the Sony also retains the time for at least a minute during battery changes, while the Olympus loses an hour or two and needs to be reset. It's not very significant since the batteries last so long, but so far, all the pros have been on the Sony side. When I get the Sony in hand I'll see if it actually performs as well as the Olympus

I don't think there is a difference, I do know this is a great scan tool with amazing capability for the price. You will need to update it right away as the have often update releases.

Normally, what I do in this case I will use the SDXC slot in Viao instead. So this way you will have more speed. Cheers.

Also, the faster SD card will have an impact on the "Continuous shooting" mode. The faster the card, the faster the succession of shots that you can have per second.

The advantage of this scanner is the network capability, and that you don't need connect it directly to a PC. This one is very good, but there are cheaper scanners if you just want to hook it up via USB. The Epson GT-S50, for instance.

Yes--mine has one that was just kicking around the house. The higher "class" micro sd cards do write/read quicker, I think, so if you're buying one, that's worth considering.

The difference between the two is the Zen Nano Plus has direct cd recording. I don't know for sure why there is such a big price difference but my guess would be that the Zen Nano isn't produced anymore (the Zen Nano Plus is an upgrade) and so there's a limited quantity.

Thanks; I'd missed that comment in the dpreview review. Seems to contradict what I found at kenrockwell.com/tech/cf-sd.htm -- basically, that a faster card matters for downloading (e.g. camera to computer) but not in modern cameras unless you overflow their internal buffer memory. Ken's description sounds like picture-taking speed won't be inhibited with a slower card because of the camera's buffer, which is what I care about most. Slower playback and downloading is fine. In other words, write speed is more important to me than read speed and apparently the camera's buffer effectively compensates for slower cards when writing to them.

It's really subjective as to whether or not the Rack-2-Filer is worth the extra money. You can certainly do everything you need to do without it, but it adds a nice visual element to your scanned files by creating a virtual bookshelf on which you can create 'binders' for various subjects (financial, home inventory, banking, bills, etc.). Without it, you still have the Scansnap folder in your Windows Explorer, and can sort your scans into any sub-folders you've created, or into your existing folders if you prefer. The only advantage of the Rack-2-Filer is that you can easily read your various scans as if they were pages in a book, turning the pages via mouse click or the central mouse wheel. As a teacher I find this especially useful for course materials, but it's also good for sequential files, like a year's worth of phone bills, for instance. Bottom line: the Rack-2-Filer software gives you a set of 'books' made from your scans, which is great for those who are more image- than text-oriented, but the simple Scansnap software is more than adequate for filing your scans the way you would any other file or scan in the Explorer environment. Hope this helps.

Interesting. I never even knew that standard SD (not SDHC) were available up to 8 gig. I thought that they maxed out at 2 gigs. good to know. Wish the thing DID read SDHC at the card slot. Still, it's a pretty nice device.

I am very happy with my 2GB Sansa. Just updated the firmware (very smooth application downloaded from Sandisk site). Sleek design, not as cool as Nano, but very close. Ubercool video which Nano doesn't have, which works surprisingly well. Bigger screen than Nano too. Micro SD slot a great plus. And it also works like a storage device, so you can take files with it, something Nano doesn't do. Go for the $129 (at time of writing) 4GB model.
